Château Suduiraut
In the shifting fog‑and‑sun rhythm of Sauternes & Barsac, Château Suduiraut has set a benchmark for sweet wine since the 16th century: the name appears in 1580, and in 1855 it was ranked Premier Cru Classé. After being ravaged during the Fronde and rebuilt in the 17th century, the estate became a lesson in patience and precision.
Sémillon leads with Sauvignon Blanc as a bright counterpoint; everything hinges on successive tries, harvesting only botrytised berries. Parcel work, hand picking berry‑by‑berry, selective pressing and barrel fermentation demand accuracy long before extended élevage on fine lees shapes the final architecture.
Since AXA Millésimes took over in 1992, the focus on rigor has intensified: uncompromising sorting, plot‑by‑plot decisions and a terroir close to Yquem that supports concentration without sacrificing balance—Sauternes defined as craftsmanship, not sweetness alone.Château Suduiraut
